Julan's description only made Aurana's grin grow wider. As for the mention of Remus, Aurana closed her mouth and shrugged. "It sounded like they maybe had both changed. I don't know. Either way, it's turned out great!"

"Say," Rhazii said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Didn't you...want the freedom to come and go from the house on your own, though? It sounds like your father is still controlling what you get to do."

To that, Aurana tilted her head to one side and brushed one foot against the floor. "Well, yeah, but this is the first time he's ever let me go out to the Fighters Guild. And I never would have imagined him inviting be to the Imperial City, of all places." She tilted her head to the other side. "From this, I think father just wants me to be ready. I'll get to go out on my own eventually. I'll try later. For now, he understands better what I want."

"Well, if you're happy about it, I guess it's fine for now," Rhazii said, turning his palm up.

Aurana nodded and addressed everyone. "Shall we head back now?"

While Lunise let her lungs empty of some clear worry with Meesei's declaration, she was not as convinced on Meesei's ideas of reform. "I think you overestimate the effect of a government back on a society, at least on the Isles, Meesei. There are traditional families that see romance with other races to be abominations. At best, I would be a deviant to the average Altmer." Still, Lunise angled her chin down, aware of Meesei's light heart. "I shall focus on making sure Mundus continues to exist before thinking about making our relationship palatable to my compatriots."

They paused, exchanging a stare. The corner of Lunise's mouth quirked.

Lunise raised an eyebrow at Meesei's mention of Ahnasha. "Is that what she has done? I should have known. I do not see her often, but she was aging far slower than the average Khajiit. And all for the Dunmer, you say? Hmph." Lunise looked away, unsure of how to think about Meesei's thoughts on trying it. She sighed, pondering. When she met Meesei's eyes above her again, her voice stopped and started in a stilted fashion. "Do not...do that just for me, Meesei...if that is what you intend." Her eyes danced back and forth. "Do not even decide yet. I know not what it takes to extend one's life, except that the resources are not simple to attain. But also...be considerate of yourself and what that would mean for your life as a whole. Only decide if it is something you personally desire."

Lunise was trying her hardest to maintain her stern official face. "If you thought I had not considered your lifespan when I first saw you as a woman drawing my heart, you have me mistaken for a weak and naive youth. Fendros might have been as such. He could not hide his young age if he tried."
